Autumn Festival Jerez

In a city known for its fine wines and sherries, Jerez´s Autumn Festival is one of the citys most popular events of the year.

Hosted to celebrate the annual grape harvest, the famous Andalucian horses and the tradition of the flamenco dance, this celebration fills the town with music, dancing and street entertainment.
Boasting the best chalky soil for grape growing, Jerez is at the centre of the ´sherry triangle´ and produces some of the worlds best fortified wines. The Royal School of Equestrian Art is also based here, and the city is renowned for the quality and training of its horses.

Street entertainment including puppet shows, singers, dancers, theatre and a grand procession in honour of the Virgin de la Merced and the blessing of the grapes also takes place.
